@ least u know that the large lump is a cyst, it's good that they are checking the other one, don't worry they measured my lump as well, that one turned out to be a cyst as well. Better to be safe than sorry. My mam many years ago, mam had samples taken and there was nothing wrong, cysts. I know that the waiting is the hardest, have u got an app, for nxt Tuesday?' Please let me know how u get on, and if u need to talk msg me ok
Hi ladies,
I think the enormity of what is happening is finally hitting home...
for the most part I have somehow been of the belief that my results will come back benign and have weirdly been functioning fine thsee past few days, going to work and looking after my little girl as though everything is normal... but today it has hit me like a brick that there is a chance - all be it a small one, I could actually have breast cancer!!
I suddenly feel so anxious, I haven't cried at all yet mostly because I guess that if I break down then I won't stop and that will confirm how awful this all is, but today I feel so scared and totally helpless.
I don't really have anyone to talk to about this, have only told a couple of friends but don't want to burden them with my fears and my mum bless her, she lost her mum to cervical cancer when she was 19 and whilst she knows what is happening, I don't want her to see now how worried I am.
Sorry for the long winded post, I just feel really out of sorts today and even though I'm not talking to you directly it really helps just getting my feelings out there!!
Thanks xx
Hello Littlelis
i am so sorry you are feeling so anxious. Anxiety is horrible and worse if you have no one to talk things through with. Is it worth phoning the breast clinic or your GP to see if your results are back yet? Just try to stay positive, I know it's hard, I'm waiting for my mammogram results and struggle myself with positivity. Please try and phone your GP/breast clinic. I believe most surgeries now have a shared system with hospital clinics so as soon as results are made available, the GPs have access to those results too. The sooner you know what your results are the better. I am wishing you luck and am keeping everything crossed for you.

Thanks Deb, I guess now that's it's drawing nearer to results day the anxiety is starting to take hold a bit and the fact that I have been so calm and normal up to this point is probably unnerving me slightly as well.
I hope you get your results soon as well, this wait is the worst but am really hoping for good news for the both of us.

Sorry for the late posting, I received some shocking news this week of a good friends sudden passing so haven't really thought of much else.
With regard to my biopsy results I am one of the lucky ones, my lump was benign - a fibroadenoma, I broke down when she told me, it's been an incredibly emotional and sad week!
Deb have you had your results yet? I hope it's good news for you too.
I want to say a big thanks to you guys for offering your support over the past few weeks, I am truly grateful xx
I am so sorry about your friend but really pleased for you re your results, what a relief!
I am still waiting mine and still have everything tightly crossed. I too have received some good support via this forum which I am very grateful for, thank you.
i will let you know when I hear something. Take care.
Hi Deb how are you, I have been on holiday this past week (much needed) - have you heard anything re your results yet?
Hello Littlelis
I have still not heard a thing. It's been ages now. I phoned the clinic last week to chase and I will again tomorrow. Even with a routine mammogram I have heard before now. I am hoping no news is good news but I cannot relax until I have had some feedback. Thank you for asking. I hope you had a good holiday.

Hello Littlelis
Would you believe I am still trying to get my mammogram results!
deb
Hello again Littlelis
I said I would post to update you. I finally received my results; normal mammogram. It is such a relief however, lump remains so I'm not sure really what to do. I wish everyone who has posted re their breast issues, the very best of luck.
D
That's excellent news Deb, you must be so relieved after waiting so long for the results!!
Regarding the lumps - are they obvious lumps?
Maybe a visit to your GP for some advise maybe a good place to start.
I was told when I went to receive my results they would leave it alone and only consider removal if it grew (only 6mm).
Such lovely news to hear you are ok though Deb I'm really happy for you 😊 xxx
Hi Littlelis, I have an appointment next week with my GP so intend to discuss then. I can definitely feel it. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Let's hope everyone who has posted has good news too.
deb
Hi I know this is an older thread but was hoping you could answer some questions for me. Was your lump moveable & how big was it? I ask cuz I have found a lump that feels smooth about size of large pea but it doesn't hurt, things I read online say breast cysts hurt....
Hi Pam sorry to hear you've found a lump, firstly try and be reassured that the majority of lumps are benign.
With regard to your question it does sound like it could be a cyst or possibly a fibroadenoma, I say this as 10 years ago I had a cyst (smooth, tender when pressed) and earlier this year as you've probably read I had 2 lumps, one larger, one smaller.
The smaller one, smooth and tender when pressed I assumed was a cyst but it turned out to be a fibroadenoma (a benign growth).
And the larger one that I was most worried about had no pain or tenderness turned out to be a large cyst so there is no sure way of knowing unfortunately, but this certainly proves that not all cysts cause tenderness or pain.
Have you seen a doctor yet?
Thx for replying so fast. Yes I have been to my doctor, she was the one who said it felt smooth so was probably a cyst. I am going for an ultrasound tomorrow, but since my appointment is now so soon I am now panicking a bit & turned to google 
everything I read says cysts are moveable & sore. I feel reassured that your wasn't tender as well. Was your lump moveable? It's hard to say if mine moves or not? Am I am supposed to be able to move it from spot to spot or does moveable mean it kinda rolls over the skin?
I mean when I feel it, the skin rolls over it but doesn't that mean smooth? Or does that mean it's moveable?
Hi Pam, my first cyst was moveable 10 years ago, the second one I had a few months ago didn't seem to move hence why I was worried. I hope this gives you some reassurance.
Good luck for tomorrow and let me know how you get on xx
I will, thanks again for lending an ear & advice 
Good luck for the morning, around 5months ago I found a lump in my right breast, scared me silly, as @'the time I was staying with my Mam in hospital, as she was very ill. I managed to get an urgent app with my doc, who then refered me to the local hosp.thay said that the app. . shd be 6/9 wks, !!!! I didn't wait that long I put myself on their cancellation list. Got one for the following Monday. Had a ultrasound and a mamogramms, saw the consultant and thank god it turned out to be a large cyst. I knew what I was lookin for regarding breast cancer as my Mam was suffering from it. This was in early May, I also found another one a few months later and was urgently re-refered bk and had another ultrasound, and that was also a cyst was told to keep a check and if necessary they will drain it. So good luck for today, let us know how you get on. Liz x
Well I just got back from my ultrasound appt. & of course the tech wouldn't tell me anything 
I have been to this place b4 (breast pain) & the tech was lovely & put my mind at ease right away, saying she didn't see anything but that my doctor would get the final report in a few days. This lady was all like sorry we are not aloud to say anything, so of course here I am thinking the worse this is going to be a long week!!
